Hi, I was steadily losing between 1 & 2lbs a week, then I started exercising on cross trainer & light jogging and whilst I haven't gained any weight, I haven't lost any either for 2 weeks!!! Is this happening to others or ideas why, I'm not eating anymore to congratulate myself for exercising

Patience. Water weight can mask results. A common cause for temporary water weight is starting a new workout routine or increasing workout intensity. Your muscles need water for repair. Give it another week or two and assuming you're eating in a deficit, the scale will reflect your work in time.0

When we start a new exercise routine or ramp up an old one, our bodies rush fluid to the muscles to help cushion and repair them. This can look like a stall or slight gain on the scale, but it's just masking the fat loss still happening. It should go away after a few weeks as your body gets used to the routine.0
